This moring I wanted to pick up some John Innes no 3 compost and horticultural grit from the local garden centre but ended up buying a variety of trailing plug plants and a bird feeder instead.

Recently we have been thinking about creating a Hanging Pot Tree with a view to being able to hang 24 of our small Liliane hanging pots (only 15 cm diameter). We want a robust and stable Tree that can be transported in the back of a car, so it is likely to be constructed in a modular form that can be easily assembled and disassembled without the need for tools. A number of drawings have been put down on paper and we are close to a final design, we hope a prototype will be completed soon - watch this space.

This afternoon we have been potting up the young plug plants that include the following.

Bacopa Great Pink Beauty

Bacopa Snowflake

Bidens Golden Glory

Calibrachoa Cabaret Cherry Rose

Calibrachoa Cabaret Purple Glow

Calibrachoa Cabaret Red

Calibrachoa Cabaret Yellow

Calibrachoa Hot Pink Star

Petunia Cascadia Rim Magenta
